Default Problem with washer fluid tank in the way....

I'm trying to figure out how to get the tubes in and out of the engine compartment on my 94 civic but the stupid washer fluid tank is in the way. Have you guys come up with any crafty ideas on how to get around this?

Or, better yet, I could punch a hole in it...run the pipe through it...and seal it back up with some silicone!!! Hey then I could make a water to air cooler...RADICAL DUDE!!!

i was working on this same problem yesterday..my original plans where to cut out the portion of my tank, that my charge lines would hit , then encase it in fiberglass cloth..well i was sitting in my garage next to my turbo heater( its freezing here now) when it hit me . i took my washer bottle and stuck real close to the heater to get it soft,,then wearing gloves..i kept heating it and pushing it in..once i got it where i wanted it i ran out and stuck it in the snow to superfreeze it that way..worked great..

man...i was doing the exact same thing yesterday. i was so pissed when i saw the washer bottle in the way. that is a great idea heating up the bottle to form it. i was just looking to see if i was going to have someone put side feed pipes on my starion intercooler that are bigger or just stick with the smaller stock tubes. your idea just helped me decide to go with the bigger tubes and heat form by washer bottle...good job!

My friend who had a turbo setup had an small aluminium resivoir welded up and had the whole thing moved somewhere else.
